A Currarino triad consists of a presacral mass, sacral bone abnormalities and functional or anatomical rectal abnormalities.
Inclusion criteria were: gastric reflux and signs of abdominal discomfort or pain (including pawing, sweating, tooth-grinding, stretching, lip curling, looking and/or kicking at the abdomen, rolling and lying down); with or without peritoneal fluid abnormality or rectal palpation abnormalities.
The connective tissue phenotypes in DD, hernias, rectal prolapse and vascular abnormalities, are most likely attributable to loss of the Eln gene.
However, particularly in rectal cancer, residual structural abnormalities at the site of resection or previous radiotherapy are common and patients often have ongoing local symptoms related to mechanical dysfunction associated with prior treatment.
Diagnosis of prostate abnormality by digital rectal examination 14.
The age of the patient, the presence or absence of a palpable prostate abnormality from digital rectal examination findings, PSA level, index lesion size based on mp-MRI, and Likert scales of T2w-MRI, DW-MRI, and DCE-MRI were used as the predictors.
Patients found to have abnormal cytology (any results other than "no atypical or malignant cells"), abnormalities on digital rectal examination, or anorectal symptoms are referred for HRA.
Histological examination of rectal specimens revealed no obvious abnormalities and only some inflammatory cells were found, independently of both tissue origin (CF or non-CF) or bowel preparation.
The men studied were chosen for testing because they had shown warning signs, like elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen in their blood or prostate abnormalities detected during a rectal exam.
Defecography can identify the presence of anatomic abnormalities that will impact rectal evacuation.
